Multiple eastbound lanes of Interstate 30 in Fort Worth have reopened after a water main break completely shut down the roadway at Oakland Boulevard.
Early Monday morning, water spilled onto the eastbound lanes of I-30 and created a large puddle off to the side of the highway.
According to officials, the water in the area has since begun to recede. Only the eastbound lanes were impacted by the flooding, and both the westbound lanes and the eastbound service road remained open.

At the height of the flooding event, traffic was backed up towards the Fort Worth mix master, causing issues for North Texans traveling from Fort Worth towards Arlington on their way to work.
The water main break also caused morning rush hour delays on I-35W due to the way the highways are connected.
TxDOT crews responded quickly to begin fixing the problem, but it still took several hours for the water to recede.
